    Koss ksc735 really that good?

    They'll blow the marshmallows away. Marshmallows are pretty good IEMs, particularly for their cost, but they're nothing great. Basically, my $200 Sleek SA6 are my favorite IEMs I've ever tried or owned. I can't say enough good about their sonic qualities as IEMs. My KSC75 that I spent $14...

    Sleek SA6

    I wanted to post about what customer service is supposed to look like: I've had my Sleek SA6 for about 2 months and the cord shorted out at the headphone jack this morning. I messaged JasonK and sent an email to the company hoping I'd be able to at least get a response before I left for out...

    Sleek SA6 better than Super.fi 5 Pro?

    Sleek SA6 better than Super.fi 5 Pro?

    Owned both, and it's no contest in my opinion: Sleek SA6 is better than the SF5pro. Heck, I think they're better than TF10pro, but realise that comes down to a few nuance differences and I prefer the choice Sleek made versus UE.

    Quick questions for Sleek SA6 owners

    1. They are easily driven by an iPod and the improvement with an amp is too little for me to bother. 2. As stated, it's the cable that matters, not the driver (they're identical) and if you wear them over the ear, the cable itself winds up assuming the form for your ear so it's easy to tell...

    So do we get a free mouse with Triple.fi Pro's now?

    This can only be good as Logitech is a company that, unlike, UE, understands that good customer service is more than just giving out replacements, which seems to be the long and short of UE's non-custom customer service plan.

    Super Fi 5's broken

    Super Fi 5's broken

    Well, unless they're within the return period for wherever you bought them, you need to talk to UE. Retailers are not guarantors for merchandise they sell.

    Why not go straight to the best? (UE 10, UE 11)

    I doubt I'll ever go for them, why? That's a lot more scratch than audio is worth to me when ~$200 products like the SA6 do everything I expect from a portable earphone. Why exactly should I be spending an extra $1000 just because? I won't appreciate the sound any more and that $1000 can be put...

    Etymotic er4 vs Sleekaudio sa6

    Quote: Originally Posted by 2162 I was wondering if the bass and treble ports overpower and take away the mids, or is it just pure awesomeness with all three. The midrange stays pretty much the same ("awesome") with any of the port combos. When they claim that changing...

    SA6 Mods

    I posted this over in the thread that gave me the idea in the first place, but I figured I'd post it here as well. This must be among the most butt simple mods in the history of the universe, but it was that final tweak to make my SA6 absolutely perfect in my book: ^ A Comply tip...

    Triple.fi users: do you like the silicone tips, but want better isolation?

    If anyone is losing sleep wondering how SA6 looks modded: Such a simple idea I'm kicking myself in the butt for not thinking of it. I've wondered if I could cut foam to fit or stuff batting into the end to do this, meanwhile, everything I needed to do it perfectly in less than a minute was...

    Triple.fi users: do you like the silicone tips, but want better isolation?

    Heh, this is a great post. I'd been trying to figure how to do something analogous with my SA6 biflange: my right ear canal is pretty much exactly in the middle of the medium and large. As a result, large is a bit too stuffed and forces itself out of position, medium, once my ears get a bit...
